Lee Wrecker 19th Jan 2019		Hi Phil, The story of Mother Records is also rather intriguing. It is really an Irish independent label originally distributed through Island Records. Herein lies part of the problem with Island being subject to many takeovers and even buy backs the marketing and distribution of Island itself was often split between the UK and EU, the USA and the rest of the world. Which causes problems here to a degree in that the parent label is Polydor (even if not a real label at the time) due to the way Island was handled by Phonogram and later Universal. So the fact that the label logo appears on both the spine and CD of this Australian release indicates to me that it was necessary to add it for distribution in Australia for some reason. Also, with regard to the Mother label itself I don't see any difference between this label, and say Rough Trade, Domino, and Ace all UK independents except in the case of Mother the label is Irish. So, another question is are all releases on the Mother label really Irish? In the case of this CD according to our guidelines and protocols it could be correctly listed as Irish, Australian or international. Shall I just list it as all three?! I'm joking but it is certainly a difficult one to place. Seems only you and I care as I have asked for advice several times on this entry and the corresponding EU version and have not had any replies other than yours.



PhilMH 17th Jan 2019		Hi Lee, I'm not sure that Polydor was really a "label" in this context: sometime in the early 90's, PolyGram in Australia apparently created two divisions, Phonogram based in Sydney (handling mainly Mercury, Philips and Island), and Polydor based in Melbourne (handling Polydor, A & M, and Motown), with the Phonogram and Polydor logos also appearing on releases. Phonogram was typically just a company name in years past (indeed, it was the previous name of PolyGram here), and that's what makes me inclined to think of it more as a marketing division, or an "umbrella" for a group of labels, rather than a label in its own right, notwithstanding that the name of this division later changed to Mercury, following the lead of the UK company Phonogram Ltd. which changed its name to Mercury Records Ltd; both divisions ultimately ended up being operated from Sydney, and seem to have bitten the dust when PolyGram became Universal in 1998/99. But, in the absence of definitive info from a PolyGram or Universal staffer, that could all be a load of old hooey on my part! I would be inclined to treat the label on both this and the European version as just Mother.



Lee Wrecker 17th Jan 2019		Atom splitting time! Is this Australian release on Mother / Polydor the same as this EU version on Mother / One Little Indian with the same cat# and barcode? Or are the differences in secondary labels enough to keep them as separate releases. The Australian issue was certainly specifically intended for the Australian market only and the Mother label does use different parent labels to make and distribute product throughout the world. So does being made and marketed by PolyGram on the Polydor label make this a different release in spite of the other similarities? A tricky one.
